There are laws that prevent people with Down syndrome from working full time without the threat of losing their health insurance. To begin to change this law, we invited members of congress and the senate to a DC new restaurant like no other - C21. The project also won a Gold Lion at Cannes, A Gold Pencil at the 2018 One Show, a Clio, a D&AD Pencil and 2 AICP awards.

WALMART'S THE RECEIPT - CANNES LION WINNER

For Walmart's first year as a sponsor of the Oscars, we created an integrated program that brought together the world's largest retailer and Hollywood's biggest night. We gave 4 award-winning directors a Walmart receipt and total creative freedom to tell whatever story they wanted. The idea: Every receipt tells a story. The Receipt won a Bronze Cannes Lion and was shortlisted in 7 categories. This was the first Lion won by Walmart USA in a decade.

COORDOWN - CANNES LION WINNER

It was an honor to be a part of this project and to work with the film's star, Anna Rose Rubright (and also Olivia Wilde). This campaign won a Lion at Cannes(and multiple shortlists), won Adcolor's Ad of the Year, a Clio, 3 One Show Short lists and was featured in Saatchi's New Director's Showcase.

LUVS - LIA, CLIO, EFFIE WINNER

As ECD on Luvs, I was fortunate to create work on the Clio, LIA and Effie-award winning First Kid/Second Kid campaign and a Twitter project where we Uber'd babies to sleep. As a parent of two small children, I was lucky to get tons of free diapers. The Luvs First Kid/Second Kid has campaign won multiple LIA Awards, Clios and an Effie.

APPLEGATE - ADC, AICP, EFFIE WIINNER

Roided-up muscle cows. Germophobic cows with OCD. Bovine drug dealers. This is what you get when you ask "What's in your Hot Dog?" The Applegate "Cleaner Wiener" campaign was shortlisted at Cannes and won multiple awards including ACD, AICP show and an Effie.

The World's Fastest Fill-Up

What’s the best way to prove you have the world’s fastest gas app? Call Guinness and try to break a world record. To help promote the Sunoco app, he created a unique experience where a real NASCAR fuel man attempted to break the Guinness World Record for the most cars refueled in an hour. The event was live- streamed on Facebook, where thousands of fans were treated to a nail-biting record attempt that literally came down to the last minute.

Blacture Super Bowl

We helped launched a new platform that gives black culture a vision and a voice with Pras, formerly of the Fugees. And we did it on the Super Bowl, during the NFL season when #takeaknee caused a national controversy. We launched a teaser, a powerful 30-second spot, along a site, and several content videos that talked about the new venture. The world took notice. The Chicago Tribune picked the spot as one of their top 5 Super Bowl ads of 2018.

Our fast-acting social team sent out these cheeky tweets when the screen went black for 20 seconds during the second quarter.

What is Blacture?

Signs4OurLives

To help protest gun violence after the the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, I created posters for the Signs4OurLives site - An industry-wide initiative to help arm the over million people participating in the March 24th March for Our LIves event.

Newcastle Social

To help Newcastle brown Ale grow it’s Facebook folllowing, we created a game called 99 Bottles of Beer on your Facebook Wall.

WALMART

Whether it was enlisting 4 Hollywood directors to create films based on a single receipt for the Oscars, using a Whitesnake song for a back to school spot, creating holiday campaigns for the world’s biggest retailer, or bringing manufacturing jobs back to America, as the ECD on Walmart, I led a team that helped the world's biggest brand do some pretty famous work. In a short amount of time, we took the brand in a whole new creative direction, culminating with a Cannes Lion in 2017.

VERSUS

Who knew two people beating the holy hell out of each other could be so incredibly beautiful. Here is a campaign we did for WEC (now part of the UFC). It included a feature length documentary directed by Derek Cianfrance. If you have an extra hour or so to spend looking at someone's portfolio, check it out.

NHL

At the Brooklyn Brothers, I was lucky enough to work on both the NHL playoffs campaign and a campaign for the New York Rangers. And though my father, a Philadelphia Flyers fan, no longer talks to me, it was cool to be a part of one of hockey's most beloved campaigns (at least by New Yorkers) "Bobby Granger's Guide to the Rangers".

OTHER STUFF

This is where I keep the other stuff. An ad Apple banned after it got a million views, an ad the Super Bowl banned because it shows a person with their head up their rear end, and a great campaign for New Era I was lucky to be a part of at the Brooklyn Brothers.
